G1 Transformers AFA Tier Codes

At Iamratchet Toys we want to help you protect your collectible figures. Since we do use AFA a lot, we know the tier codes can be a little confusing to new collectors using it for the first time. Even the seasoned collectors can’t remember them all. To help solve this issue there is now a cheat sheet. Below you will find the figure, or sub group that your figure goes in, with the tier codes next to them. If you are sending in a Styrofoam Figure with broken tape unused just insert a “Q” before the “S”. Iamratchet Toys is not in any way affiliated with AFA, so please check their site out for any changes and for their pricing. We have done our best to make sure this chart is as close as possible. It will be updated if any changes occur. This is a friendly help guide and we cannot guarantee that every code will be correct for your figures. If you have any questions we will be happy to answer before sending your items in. Any pricing or grading questions should be directed to CGA directly.
